    July 15, 1918 19:00 Moscow Kremlin

    An emergency plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union was held in the splendid large conference room. Those who rushed back to Moscow in the dust were, in addition to the two Central Committee members Joseph and Bubnov, who had been repeatedly called out by Tsaritsin, as well as Peter  Two Central Committee members, Krestinsky and Uritsky, rushed back from Fort.  (,-<Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work>-Net)

    In addition, the three Central Committee members Sokolnikov, Stasova and Lomov who were originally in Moscow also made a rare appearance in the large conference room.

    At the Seventh Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) held in March 1918, after democratic elections, the Central Committee of the Soviet Union produced a total of 15 official Central Committee members, including Ulyanov, Trotsky, and Bolsheviks.  Haring, Kamenev, Zinoviev, Sokolnikov, Joseph, Chicherin, Stasova, Sverdlov, Bubnov, Lomov, Kles  Tinsky, Dzerzhinsky, Uritsky.

    At this time, even Chicherin, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs who had been on a mission to Berlin, rushed back. The large conference room of the Kremlin was packed with people. If the food and the situation were not as tense, there would have been a grand reception.  Only worthy of being in this situation today.

    Many members of the Central Committee who had not seen each other for a long time greeted each other cordially. Of course, Comrade Joseph, who came back from Tsaritsyn, was very happy.  A large amount of grain was transported from the lower reaches of the Volga River to Moscow.

    All these achievements made many Central Committee members who were still in the dark enthusiastically come forward to hug and greet Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, who held the heavy troops of the Southern Front.  , the entire conference room was a happy scene

    Of course, many Central Committee members have sunken cheeks and sluggish faces, which are obviously the sequelae of malnutrition or long-term hunger. Compared with Joseph and Bubnov, the two rosy-faced Central Committee members who returned from the Volga grain-producing area,  , quite bitter and desolate.

    Fortunately, in addition to flowers, the large conference table in the conference room also had some rare fruits brought by Comrade Joseph from the south. In addition, in the small restaurant of the Kremlin before, everyone had butter bread and potato tomato soup.  After a half-full dinner, the atmosphere in the conference room was still quite peaceful and relaxed.

    Because there was a meeting, no wine was served at the previous dinner. No matter how scarce food was in Moscow, there was still no shortage of good wine in the Kremlin wine cellar. However, Comrade Ulyanov did not allow it. Tonight's meeting was very important.  , everyone must stay awake.

    The entire Kremlin has been on alert since 18:00. Guard Captain Matveyev and his deputy Vasily personally led the team on duty. At this time, the Cheka's internal security forces were still brewing.  During the planning stage, the Central Security Bureau of Soviet Russia was not established, and the Kremlin Guards were responsible for the security of the entire central agency.

    In the areas controlled by the Soviet Russian regime, where the Cheka's power is the weakest, it is the Kremlin. Of course, although Matveyev is the captain of the guard, his deputy, Comrade Ulyanov  Vasily, who was born as a personal guard commander, actually holds the title of Chairman of the Kremlin Cheka.

    The infantry division that Comrade Joseph brought from Tsaritsyn was placed in a temporary barracks next to Moscow University. This can be regarded as the concern and care of the Soviet Central Committee for the comrades from Tsaritsyn. Of course, the surrounding camps are not far away.  Not so many people know the news that there are three elite Moscow workers' garrison divisions stationed here.

    "Comrades! Since the Central Committee was elected at the Seventh Congress in March, many of you have not seen each other for a long time. You are fighting on the front line for the sacred cause of the Soviets and the Bolsheviks. On behalf of the comrades who remain in Moscow,  Welcome back and thank you for your great contribution to the defense of the Soviet Union!¡±

    The opening remarks of Comrade Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, received warm applause from the members of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union present. No matter how extreme or radical Ulyanov¡¯s position was, his personality  The charisma and theoretical ability are there. In the two critical years of 1917 and 1918, it was Comrade Ulyanov who insisted on the right direction at countless critical moments.

    Especially on the issue of signing the Brest-Litovsk Treaty with Germany. Although the little leader gave up the contract because he could not realize his own ideas, in the end Soviet Russia turned around and signed a new contract with Germany. The price was of course huge.  However, the gains in exchange for the armistice with Germany were equally huge.

    The Soviet Russian government withdrew from the war with the Allies and was free to consolidate its red regime. If the Allied forces had not intervened in the Battle of Ufa, Kolchak and his All-Russian Provisional Government would have  We have already rushed to the east of the Ural Mountains

    As for Tsaritsyn, Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili and his comrades held the Moscow granary under extremely difficult circumstances and protected the two revolutionary central cities of Moscow and Petrograd.  supply of food, and established a combat-effective Soviet Red Army. All these are incredible achievements.

    "Vladimir Ilyich, what are the main issues to be discussed at this emergency meeting of the Central Committee? There are still a lot of things going on in Petersburg. If Ulitsky and I are not here, I am afraid that the people below will not be able to control the situation. You  We also know that the situation there is quite complicated, and the Chekas have made great achievements in suppressing the rebels, but there are many more enemies hidden within us than we imagined! Of course, we have to be cautious, and we might kill them if we are not careful!  Our comrades were accidentally injured!"

    The speaker was Nikolai Nikolayevich Krestinsky, a very senior Bolshevik member, member of the Soviet Central Committee, and chairman of the Petersburg Soviet at that time. This guy was with Joseph at that time.  He worked underground in Petersburg and was considered a conscientious intellectual among the Bolsheviks.

    Krestinsky joined the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in 1903. In Wang Geng's previous life, after Sverdlov's death, he returned to Moscow to take over Sverdlov's post as secretary of the Central Secretariat and became the Ukrainian  One of Comrade Liyanov's trusted aides and played a huge role in the financial field as People's Commissar of Finance, the Soviet regime survived the weakest years of its founding and early civil war.

    But abroad, Krestinsky was first known as a talented diplomat.  He served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Soviet Russia and lived in Germany for ten years. Later, he returned to China to serve as Deputy People's Commissar of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and became the assistant of Maxim Litvinov.

    At this moment, in July 1918, Comrade Adolf Abramovich Joffe, Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union and alternate member of the Central Committee, was serving as the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Representative to Germany in Berlin.

    Of course, no one could escape the Great Purge of Soviet Russia in the 1930s, not even Krestinsky, who had already fought side by side with Joseph in Petersburg in 1911. Fortunately, everything in this time and space may be  It¡¯s different from Wang Geng¡¯s previous life.

    The 35-year-old Kristinsky is still in his prime at the moment, and Comrade Joseph may not have the chance to climb to the leadership position. At least at this emergency meeting of the Central Committee, Joseph, who is smiling at the moment, will soon become the leader.  I can't laugh anymore.

    "Nikolai Nikolayevich, don't be anxious. There are not many issues to be discussed at the meeting, but they are very important. They are related to the future of the Soviet power, the future of the Bolshevik Party's cause, and also the Central Committee members present here.  future, so everyone must listen carefully, think carefully, and speak carefully!¡±

    Ulyanov waved his hand and asked the Chairman of the Petersburg Soviet to sit down. While scanning the Central Committee members present, he cleared his throat and raised his voice:

    "This meeting is chaired by Comrade Sverdlov, Secretary of the Central Secretariat, let's begin! Yakov Mikhailovich!"

    "Comrades, members of the Central Committee, as entrusted by the Chairman, as the Secretary of the Central Committee, I will preside over today's meeting. Let me first remind all members of the Central Committee that in order to maintain order, everyone must raise their hands to apply for permission before speaking.  You can only speak after permission, otherwise I'm afraid it will become a vegetable market. Of course, there is nothing for sale in the market in Moscow at the moment, and everything has become a rationing system. "

    Sverdlov was obviously very familiar with presiding over the meeting. He was a member of the Central Committee with strong organizational skills. He was also the Organizational Commissar of the People's Committee of the Soviet Union. He was the Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and the Executive Chairman of the Organizational Bureau of the Bolshevik Party.  Know how to maintain a balance without making the atmosphere of the meeting seem oppressive or too solemn.

    More than a dozen Central Committee members laughed loudly. The 33-year-old Sverdlov was extremely capable and capable. He was also responsible for party affairs and organizational work, so he won everyone's trust and love. Everyone was willing to discuss anything with him.  , after all, Trotsky himself is a very informal guy, and Ulyanov¡¯s eyes when he stares at you are often so sharp and disturbing.

    "Dear members of the Central Committee, there are two topics for the emergency meeting of the Central Committee today. Of course, before that, I would like to inform you about the situation we are facing recently. Objectively speaking, the situation is not optimistic!" Sverdlov began to preside over the meeting.  .

    "Not only is it not optimistic, it's simply terrible! It's a complete mess!" Ulyanov, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, couldn't help but yelled. He punched the conference table with his fist and smashed the teapot in front of him.  The lid fell on the table with such a shock that water splashed everywhere, startling all the Central Committee members around the conference table.

    "Vladimir Ilyich, please pay attention to your image and the discipline of our meetings. You have to raise your hands first., to pound the table, otherwise every Central Committee member would do this, and I wouldn¡¯t be able to preside over this meeting!  "Sverdlov turned sideways and said to Comrade Chairman with a wry smile.

    "Uh Okay I won't do it next time! But I have to say it! The situation is very bad, very serious. Some comrades, regardless of the overall situation, have caused losses to our cause. This matter cannot be settled like this! Okay, okay,  Yakov Mikhailovich, you continue to host, I will talk about it later!¡±

    Ulyanov frowned as he looked at Sverdlov, and saw the surprised faces of the Central Committee members around him. The guy raised his hands as if to give up, which made the host Sverdlov  You can continue to host the meeting.
